I've just completed a dump/restore to swap the i386 live images so that 10.0_RC6 is on the PNY flash drive and -current (10.99.10) is on the SanDisk flash drive. The problem follows the SanDisk drive. Anything that causes the filesystem to be altered provokes the "Generic HBA error" (and if the disk was actually mounted, further "error writing fsbn XXXXXXXX" messages). Hitting reset to skip the 40-minute wait for all the retries to time out, rebooting the live image single-user and running 'fsck' to repair the filesystem, then immediately issuing 'halt', the system again reports the "Generic HBA error" but continues with the remaining steps to halt the system. Has anyone else had issues using a SanDisk USB flash drive for a NetBSD live image for NetBSD 9.99.*, -10, -current? These exact same SanDisk USB flash drives (Cruzer Glide 16GB) have been used with netbsd-8 and netbsd-9 in the past and did not exhibit this problem. (By "used", I mean installed/updated/tested. They've never seen any active use beyond that.) When used as a non-boot disk, it doesn't seem to have any problem even if left mounted at system halt/reboot. -- |/"\ John D.
